[DeathStar] Slash, go scout around for me [Garland] ...... if he's alive, he's no doubt looking for us, otherwise, I sugest we stay put * Slash goes to scout [DeathStar] Find SK if possible *** Slash has quit IRC (scouting for SK ) [DeathStar] ... * Garland stands there looking around * Dominator walks around looking for SK * Monty tries to activate Jet pack or Hoverboard [DeathStar] Can anyone fix these blasted comms?! * Monty raises hand [Dominator] Monty might be able to...

[Dominator] Shadow Knight...! [DeathStar] Dom, help him * Monty continues working * DeathStar grabs the comm. * ShadowKnight staggers toward the shuttle, his front shreaded * Dominator points Rune Sword at Shadow Knight, and Silver Crystal starts to sign a white light; then dazzling silver energy engulf Shadow and begins to restore his life.

[Monty] It must be drawing power from somewhere [Monty] Just get it to draw it from teh air [ShadowKnight] ...am..wor..ng..n..se.f.re..irs [Monty] Err the static in the air * DeathStar listens to stataic [Dominator] Silver Crystal supplied it with the energy to heal SK...

[DeathStar] Comm] ~~~~~~~ * Dominator moves over to DS and listens in * Monty starts setting some stuff up using the deflectors from the shuttle, in an attempt to create a statng filter [DeathStar] I said this is commander Death Star, can anyone hear me? We are stranded at the mission cordnets... * ShadowKnight his voice clicks 1"There, vocal circuits are now working" [Dominator] Remind me to have Monty and the technical team make the COMS better...

[Monty] Power [Monty] That shuttle is leaking battery fluid and it is low on power * ShadowKnight moves to a seat in the shuttle and wraps his wings around him [DeathStar] What about power? [DeathStar] We got a shuttle coming for us [Monty] Can't get the cleaners to work without enough power to create an inverse static field * DeathStar paces as time passes [Dominator] We can just wait here... Better blow the shuttle up once the other gets here, so themavs can't steal our technology * Garland sits on a block of rubble, apreantly thinking [DeathStar] GM: 5 mins past and a shuttle can be heard overheard * Dominator recalls Slash is still scouting [Monty] Ok * Dominator looks up at it * ShadowKnight is finished reconstructing [DeathStar] We'll pick him up. * DeathStar sees another shuttle appearing too [DeathStar] Damnit.. * Monty rigs the shuttle up to blow up once they are out of range 1 "I'd think X1 would want us to salvage it, but I like to see him get jumpy about this stuff" [Dominator] Mavericks...? * DeathStar the two begin to open fire on each other [DeathStar] .... [Monty] Oh god [Dominator] Damn...

[ShadowKnight] Second that * DeathStar Ebony begins to start up the shuttle [Dominator] Any additional information you have to give us Ebony? [DeathStar] Ebony: Yes, BAD news.. [Dominator] Go on... * Monty listens intently * Garland isnt listening, he really doesnt care [DeathStar] Ebony: A small portion of the alien's fleet is passing Jupiter, heading for Earth. Seems vile was meant to keep you guys busy * DeathStar shuttle flies from Earht * Monty activates the grounded shuttles explosion device to detonate it by remote [Dominator] ... We failed against Vile... How can we beat them? [Monty] We can't beat them, but we can stop them dominator [Garland] .....I welcome the comming battles [ShadowKnight] The problem is that he always manages to teleport out before we can defeat him [Dominator] Perhaps, Monty... [Dominator] And I don' * DeathStar they take a path out of the alien fleet's path and come up on Jupiter. [DeathStar] Then we make the odds better next time [Dominator] don't Garland. This is terrible news for Earthand us. [DeathStar] Teleportation jamming... [Garland] ..... [Dominator] We can only hope so Death Star... [Monty] Vile may be strong, but space technology is much differnat than Reploid technology, compared to a Simple Fighter jet he is nothing * Monty looks at DS [Dominator] Monty, don't you think the aliens possess supieror space technology to us? * DeathStar they arrive at HQ a few minutes later and land [ShadowKnight] There's enough compatability, I'm proof of that * DeathStar gets out and looks around the bay, seeing the red alert on and people running around now [Garland] Dont be so sure....Monty [Monty] Apparently not superior, we held them off, they just got more of it * DeathStar frowns [DeathStar] I need to head and talk to the Fleet Commanders, the few we have. [Dominator] Right. [DeathStar] Last time we had a space battle with the aliens, CorSec was nearly wiped out. We're weaker than CorSec was NOW. I have very little optimism for victory. [Monty] yeah, and DS you can count on me out there if you need a good Wing Man [Dominator] We must... team up with CorSec I fear... * Monty looks at Dominator 1 "Heh, then they can blow us up after we blow the aliens up" [ShadowKnight] So how are we going to keep them from backstabbing us? [DeathStar] Session EndsThe beginning of the end. Those thoughts raced through Death Star's mind as he talked to his Fleet officers and Dominator. Vile had killed over 111 people in that hospital attack and the Hunters were powerless to stop him.
How can they possibly take on a portion of the fleet?
"What are our odds?" asked Death Star.
Captain Steel blinked and turned to face the HoloVid showing the fleet moving toward the Asteroid Belt. "Very, VERY slim, Commander. But we have a CHANCE, a SMALL chance of destroying them in that asteroid belt. That could give us the advantage."
"Dominator? Your ideas?" asked Death Star.
"It seems like the best possible course of action, DS."
"Then it's settled. We MUST stop them at that belt. It's our ONLY chance I'm afraid. Godspeed to us. We must have the Hunters ready within the hour."
